zwitschi ec5545b265 feat(theatre): marquee canopy and blade sign; fix two placement bugs
Tools/theatre_trim_build.py builds the El Capitan Theatre's signature features in
world coordinates - projecting marquee (12.0 x 2.60 m canopy, 4.60 m soffit),
illuminated fascia, recessed soffit, vertical blade sign (1.30 x 5.20 m) with frame
and bracket - with a JSON part report. Tools/ue_stage_theatre_trim.py imports and
stages one actor per piece with site materials, clearing a previous run first.

Two bugs, neither visible in a render:
- Axis sign: Blender +Y is Unreal -Y, so the theatre face at Unreal Y +1001 is
  Blender Y -10.01; using +10.01 mirrored the marquee across the boulevard.
- Absolute Z: trim heights ignored the 4.56 m pavement, leaving the canopy 5 cm above
  the ground. GROUND_Z now offsets every height.

QA wall probe: the Y 1000 scan row sat ~1 cm from the building line and grazed the
theatre wall after the kit's proud shopfronts; rows now sample the street envelope
only. Packaged QA back to PASS (transect 0 holes, wall probe 0/35, facade probe 0/9).
Screenshots re-rendered and verified 4/4.

"""El Capitan Theatre (6838) trim: marquee canopy and blade sign.
The theatre blockout is a plain volume; what makes it read as *the* El Capitan
Theatre is the projecting marquee over the pavement and the vertical blade sign on
the corner. Both are built **in world coordinates** here, so the export carries its
position and the Unreal staging step is a single spawn at the origin — the same
convention as the block frontage and the north buildings.
The building's verified span (from `Geo/verification/2026-11-06-el-capitan-block.md`
and the staged mesh) is X −12082..−8210, street face at Y ≈ +1001, height 20.55 m.
blender -b --factory-startup --python Tools/theatre_trim_build.py -- \
--out /tmp/gigline/theatre --report /tmp/gigline/theatre-report.json
Everything the photographs do not resolve at this scale (exact marquee depth,
soffit height, sign lettering) is an assumption recorded in the part report.
